About this episode
1) US President Donald Trump left the Group of Seven leaders meeting in Canada early to deal with the Israel-Iran conflict, but played down the chances of a ceasefire. 2) Israel and Iran have exchanged fire for the fourth consecutive day, sparking fears of an all-out war that could drag in other countries in the oil-rich region and force the US into a more hands-on stance. 3) Senate Republicans plan to delay and make less onerous a levy targeting foreign companies and investors from countries that the US determines have been unfairly taxing US companies.
